"The Million Dollar Quartet" was worth a million. Very, very entertaining. Moved right along. Never a dull moment. An interesting story, also. Glad we saw the the main cast wirh no understudies.
This 90 min production was nothing but extrodinary! The acting, the music, and the production itself were fantastic. Just as good as Jersey Boys!!! Thumbs up would go again in a heartbeat.
Million Dollar Quartet was fantastic. The musicians/singers were amazing. A fast paced, ultra quality musical performance.
Did not expect much but was totally surprised. Outstanding talent esp Jerry Lee. Love the Honky Tonk music.
Seen it twice once in NYC and again in Buffalo both were excellent.
Utterly fantastic! Great talent for all members of the cast.
I was in the pit section and felt so intimate with the performers- "Elvis" looked so much like Elvis it was uncanny. It was funny, light, and charming- I wished the audience would have interacted more as the couple sitting next to me and myself tried a few times to clap along and dance. I would have loved to take my parents who are big 50s music fans having graduated in 1957.
We found the show to be an amazing evening of entertainment. The performers were excellent in their musical abilities and acting performances. Each one having great talent.
FANTASTIC FABULOUS ... MY HUSBANDS FIRST BROADWAY EXPERIENCE. HE SAID IF THE SHOW WAS NOT CLOSING THAT DAY HE'D GO AGAIN AND THAT HE FELT LIKE HE HAD SEEN ELVIS! REALLY REALLY GREAT SHOW.
This show was such a surprise... I had NO idea that it would be as good as it was... The actors were AMAZING!!!! They played all the music themselves... What a talented group... Its a MUST SEE!
I bought my husband tickets to Million Dollar Quartet because he is a huge fan of Elvis and Johnny Cash but I ended up loving it too! The music, musicians, vocals and witty banter was so much fun-you couldn't sit still! What an ensemble!...I thought I was watching the real thing! Learned a little bit of history too! We had to bring our parents back the next night and they were amazed having seen Elvis live before!
This show was Fantastic. It was fun to watch history in the making. The music was right on. Nobody missed a note. The cast were very talented in both their singing and playing the instruments. There were plenty of funny moments, as well as some serious ones. I highly recommend this too anyone who enjoys a great show. My wife and I loved it.
The energy at this show was amazing! We enjoyed every minute! Would definitely see it again! The actors/musicians were incredible!
Could not believe how talented these people were. It is hard to imagine that the real people were as talented"
out of this world music. these guys were great and also made us laugh, i would love to see it again
Million Dollar Quartet was funny, enjoyable and absolutely fabulous. Bought CD and both my husband and I felt that the touring cast sounded better and looked more authentic than the Broadway cast. Must see show.
It was a great story that is known by few. The actors nailed the characters. Funny, lively, and touching. Very happy I went.
Amazing talent. The staging was superb, the costumes true to the time and the music was great. Would see it again.....
We saw this in Rochester for my husband's birthday and it did not disappoint! We had just been to Graceland and Sun records in Memphis, the Rock and Soul Hall of Fame,and RCA and the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville in Sept. We have seen several Elvis look alikes perform and this guy was by far the best right down to the knee twitching which Elvis usually did when he sang faster songs esp early in his career. The Johnny Cash sounded like the real thing too, the Carl Perkins actor was a terrific guitarist and the Jerry Lee Lewis actor stole the show. He was a wonderful pianist and the whole thing ROCKED !!! Do not miss this if you like Rock and Roll. At Sun Records, we stood in the actual room where they all got their recording start and listened to the original recordings, saw the original piano that Jerry Lee Lewis played etc. It is also the same room where the Million Dollar Quartet Photo was taken. Amazing. We saw the original equipment that this music was all recorded on also. At RCA in Nashville, we went to the room where most of Elvis's hits were recorded and many other famous artists - it is still in use today.
What a talented group of musicians....you really thought you were watching the originals up on stage. It was great to see so many different generation of people swaying and keeping beat to the music.
